Findings

Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.

  • The server marks "plan_trip" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "irreversible".

    Matched text

    annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

    What this check looks for
  • The server marks "service_updates" read-only (readOnlyHint: true), and its own name, description or input give the class "write".

    Matched text

    annotations: {"readOnlyHint":true,"openWorldHint":true}; The name "service_updates" says "update": a word for a change.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Routes between two places in Hong Kong by MTR, bus, minibus, tram and ferry, best first: departure and arrival times, every walk and ride with stops, Octopus fares for the group, live next departures, traffic delays, and a link to open the trip on a live map. Also lists Klook things to do near the destination (affiliate ads).

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    How busy each land and bridge crossing between Hong Kong and mainland China is right now (Lo Wu, Lok Ma Chau Spur Line, Shenzhen Bay, Heung Yuen Wai, Huanggang Port, Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge, Man Kam To, Sha Tau Kok): the Immigration Department's queue level and waiting range on the Hong Kong side, leaving and entering, for Hong Kong residents and for visitors, with how to get there and where to plan a trip to.

      What this check looks for
    Description, as the server wrote it
    What's disrupted right now: MTR lines reporting a delay (MTR's next-train feed) and open road incidents such as accidents, breakdowns and lane closures (Transport Department special traffic news). Empty lists mean nothing is reported. plan_trip also flags these on the options they affect.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "search_place" says "search": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Stations, stops, landmarks, restaurants (official licence list), buildings and street addresses in Hong Kong matching the text, best first, with what each is and its coordinates. Pass near to rank a chain's branches nearest to a point.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
